A Gift That REALLY Matters

At the beginning of this month, I was talking about gifts and how to make a good one. Today I want to talk to you about the gift that REALLY matters. Today I want to talk to you about this one gift it could make a difference.

If you read this article, it means that you are an Internet user and it also means you are one of those people who is going to spend around 660 lei (160 euro) on gifts. The estimates say: this year, Romanian Internet users will spend 660, on average, for Christmas gifts ( source: http://www.capital.ro ). If you’re American, you’re likely to spend around 100 dollars ( source: http://www.refinery29.com ) and, if you’re English, you’ll spend on average 400 pounds (source: http://metro.co.uk ). In short: dude, you’re going to spend a lot of money this year :)).

And it’s very beautiful. I also like to offer gifts and especially with an occasion like this just that most of us have what we need. But I want to return to the gift that really matters problem. At that gift that you can give to a person that really appreciates it and will find it extremely useful. So, I’m going to make a present in a shoe box here, with you, for a 2-4 years old girl in the project ShowBox.

ShoeBox it’s a beautiful project that started on a personal level and now, reached a national level. It’s the third year I’m doing this and I’m really happy to share this experience with you.

Everything starts with a shoe box that, so I think, I wrapped it nicely :) Then continues with some personal goods for a child between 2 and 18 years old, on your choice. It’s not about expensive things but about some essential stuff for some unfortunate children.

For my mysterious girl, I will call her that due to the fact I don’t know where my gift it’s going exactly, I chose some clothes, some sweets, a toy and a Christmas decoration. The whole box was around 100 lei (25 euros). If you save 10 lei (3 euro) from every present this year, you’ll save enough money to make a gift in a shoe box for some kid that doesn’t have the luxury to receive anything else for Christmas.

How many presents do you receive on Christmas? I know already that I will receive around 5. These kids don’t even dream of 1 and I BET they would be a thousand times happier than your friends that already have everything. Don’t you think?
